The USC Supreme Student Council is calling on every Carolinian to sign the petition appealing for the suspension of classes and school activities on May 11 (Sunday) and May 13 (Tuesday), 2025, in light of the upcoming National and Local Elections on May 12 (Monday).

As students, faculty, and members of a democratic society, we recognize the importance of ensuring that everyone has the time, capacity, and energy to fully exercise their right to vote. Whether that means traveling to home provinces, serving as election volunteers, or simply fulfilling civic duties, we believe that academic leniency during this critical time is not only appropriate but necessary

🔗 Sign here: https://forms.gle/F4nvAYRYJc1WTHh48
(USC emails only, 1 response per person)

This appeal recognizes the need to:
✅ Give students and faculty time to travel to and from voting precincts
✅ Allow for rest and recovery after election-related duties or travel
✅ Uphold our democratic right to suffrage

Collected responses will be used solely for the appeal letter to the USC Administration. We hope to collect responses till Friday (May 9, 2024 at 11:59PM).

Let us stand together in advocating for academic leniency and civic responsibility.
